What is an Archetypal Tarotist?

I have been frequently referencing the term archetype and Archetypal Tarotist on this page, so let’s explore what an archetype is and its function in my tarot readings.🔮

ARCHE means “first” and TYPE means “kind”, indicating that these energies have been present since the beginning of time! They are an idea, symbol, pattern, or character-type that appear repeatedly in stories from cultures worldwide, symbolizing something universal in human experience. Carl Jung, a Swiss psychoanalyst and psychiatrist, originally coined the term archetypes and believed that archetypes resided in the collective unconscious. The collective unconscious is the idea that part of the human mind is shared by all people and is inherited from our ancestors. This is where Tarot comes in! Archetypal tarot readings use the imagery in the cards to access the collective unconscious. We can use them to explore the universal patterns of behavior and the deeper underlying themes and motivations that are often hidden in the subconscious/unconscious. This style of reading helps us tap into the deeper truth of our psyche and use the information we gain to find clarity and a path forward in times of confusion, chaos and fear. In the end, tarot guides you to unlock the profound wisdom that has been within you all a long!✨✨✨✨✨
